Nothing to do with laptops, but ... You can use sources.list to
include testing and invoke apt-get with a '-t stable' option or add
the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "testing";
Err, that is in testing you can, don't know 'bout stable. You could
always just grab the deb and use `dpkg -i' to install. May need to
upgrade a few libraries as well, though, so generally apt-get would be
more painless.
